    I bought a whole cooked duck hanging from a close line in China Town DC one time. Thing was nasty. Only thing good was the sauce. Now that I would reconsider.

    Have u guys ever had to use macropoint? This load i just got they say its required to use. Says it monitors ur location for the load to keep the customer/broker/shipper or whoever informed. Not really sure how i feel about that even more so i had to deadhead 450 miles out of phoenix to pick up this bs and it dont pay well to start with atleast its taking me in the right direction but still just seems weird they want to know my every location on a load of building materials.

    @sealevel just to be clear I'm not judging. I too have made a similar poor decision. I bought "chicken wings" off a charcoal grill on the sidewalk outside a Vietnamese grocery store in West Philly. They were twice the size of any chicken wing I had ever seen and tasted like what dead animals smell like.... pretty sure I ate a cat. My excuse is alcohol and drugs.

    Nah. It should be on the load your doing. It may ask you to send an arrive, depart, etc., at shipper or receiver.

    Send a macro arrived at shipper | handed paperwork and was it signed Y or N | doors opened | bump the dock | reciever accepted load | unloaded | closed doors | request next load | left reciever.

    Macropoint gets used a bunch. I did not have any issues with it's functionality.

    I just figure if it's that important they should tape a burner phone to the load someplace, the cheap bastaditches......
